Richie Ortega-Torres started her interests in fashion way back in high school.  She then studied Fine Arts - Visual Communication in UP and pursed a degree in Fashion from the prestigious Parsons School of Design in NYC. She has represented various designers and brands in the US before moving back to Manila in 2000 to start her own line of fashion business.   

She is the owner of Worldbox Trading, her garment factory specializing on high-level beadwork, embroidery and hand embellishment for evening wears and Souk Gallery, her fashion boutique carrying very hip Filipino and foreign labels.  She is also a partner in When I was Five, a luxe collection of hand embellished women's designer clothing sold famous stores abroad including Harvey Nichols, Lane Crawford, Loveless and Maxfield. 

Of course, she is very well known as the owner and designer of her own collection of Bridal and Formal Evening Wears, which have been sought after by women and brides-to-be here and abroad.

Her designs vary from classy, feminine and romantic especially for her wedding and formal evening pieces to hippie, chic and bohemian for her in-store collection.  These, in addition to her personal style of being minimalist and simple yet sophisticated and free spirited, makes Ritchie’s designs unique and whimsical.

         This month, in celebration of her contribution to the fashion industry, Richie Ortega-Torres and her summer collection are featured in Mosaic.

Mosaic is located at Level 2, Powerplant Mall, Rockwell and
G/L Glorietta 3, Ayala Malls, Makati City
